The P7P55D Deluxe also takes the lead in 3DMark Vantage
1.0.1, although again it's a less than 1% difference between the three
motherboards in this test.

FEAR is
Sierra's latest first person shooter which relies heavily on DirectX 9 features.
With its "Soft Shadows" feature enabled, even the fastest videocards run at a
crawl, FEAR is definitely the new benchmark for future FPS games to
follow.
